Hey there Earthlings, Alternatives and Trollers. Put down that mouse and lend an ear. Welcome to The Bandersnatch blog where we talk weird, wacky and wondrous. I'm The Bandersnatch and I have no idea what I'm doing.

As you should know Tuesdays is book blog day were we talk about one particular book and pretty much run with it. Today's blog is on Blackwing Volume one by C. M. Alongi

Blackwing Volume One is a collection of Novellas which tells the story of Jinua, a Paladin who ends up questioning everything she believes in. I have yet to read this book, however I do have it and merely wanted to share what it was. 

TO KILL A NECROMANCER

In a world of greed, gods, and monsters, paladins are chosen to do what no mortal human can. Granted divine attributes of their chosen deity, they protect the broken fragments of human civilization from any and all threats. Often from necromancers, those born with the ability to speak with and raise the dead. Such power inevitably corrupts and turns each and every necromancer evil

Right?

Jinua has just received her first assignment as a paladin: to execute a necromancer terrorizing a small town with an undead army. But what should be a straight-forward mission turns complicated when another necromancer reveals himself as an ally, flying in the face of everything Jinua's ever heard about his kind. Can she trust him to help her on her quest, or is he an even greater threat?

HETGARIB'S CURSE

Jinua is a paladin, granted powers by the gods and sent on missions to protect their interests in the mortal realm.

Ontiku is a necromancer, hated by gods and mortals alike.

After their unlikely alliance against Enejel, the two follow the evil queen's trail to the city of Capulstos, certain that they'll go their separate ways as soon as the mission is complete - - assuming they don't kill each other first. But what should be a simple mission gets complicated by the presence of a city wide plague, caused by Hetgarib, the god of disease.

As Ontiku risks exposing himself as a hated necromancer and Jinua risks the wrath of the gods, the two find themselves once again unlikely allies. Though never one knows whether this alliance – or their lives – will survive a city full of death, disease, and vengeance.

THE HORNED GUARDIAN

An evil Necromancer queen, defeated and executed, has a dark and sinister ally. Jinua the Paladin and Ontiku the Necromancer have traced them to the town of Paramis, and have managed to survive and even respect each other in the process.

But their uneasy alliance to track and handle their new foe is tested when the leaders of Paramis ask Jinua to execute a fifteen-year-old boy. After all, a necromancer cannot be allowed to live no matter how young and innocent. It's only a matter of time before they become corrupt and evil, right?

Even worse, the town's enchanted forest –ruled by an ancient nature spirit – is uplifting it's roots and leaving for reasons unknown, taking it's magical healing properties with it. And the young necromancer swears his sister –long thought dead– is alive and living in those enchanted woods.

Jinua's beliefs are further questioned as she must decide who to rescue, who to execute, and who is friend or foe.

GHOST PEAK

After narrowly escaping an army of religious zealots, Jinua, Ontiku, and the two new members of their party, Hylas and Aketa, are attacked by a pack of flesh-eating monsters.

They're forced to take shelter at Ghost Peal, the sight of a notorious battle between paladins and necromancers centuries ago.

Well; Jinua the paladin calls a battle. Ontiku the necromancer calls it a genocide.

As the group continues to fracture, they become vulnerable to a dark, deadly force that not even a paladin or demigod with the gifts of the gods can fight against. Ontiku and Hylas become the group's only chance of getting out of Ghost Peak alive, assuming the four of them don't kill each other first.
